Behind the striking good looks of that mosaic damascus steel lies a nimble, well balanced exceptionally functional knife. The edge is thin but slightly convex for better food release and effortless slicing of fruit, veg and meat. Many generations of handle design have led to this, our current favourite design which offers comfort and control in many positions, but specifically the pinch grip.

The blade has a hard, food-safe wax finish to help preserve the colouring and remove the need for oiling during daily use. The handle can be removed for repairs and maintenance and with an heirloom fit, it should last a lifetime. Please check out the Maintaining blades page for more info and pick up some protective wax to keep all your blades pristine. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email us directly.
This is a tough steel so you don’t have to be too worried about chipping it despite the thin edge. Like most carbon steels, it is easy to sharpen and keep a hair-popping edge.
